Noticed the crowd wasn't overflowing last night -  I know it's a question that can be simply researched but we ended up with one senior this year. However, I'm thinking volleyball is a sport that can be turned around with just a few key players, and the number of seniors doesn't have much to do with that.

I would say that after the Griffin/Dooley/Merseli graduations, Pryor lost interest in this job and tapped out.  Maybe even the year before that, since he knew he was getting them all back once more.  I think he thought he couldn't take the program any higher.  So, that hurt at least one year of recruiting, possibly two.  And the last two years have shown.  But, like CMSioux said, the turnaround can be quick, so hopefully Tiffin is on that!

Volleyball has fallen fairly far from just a handful of years ago. Is this just a matter of coaches unable to deliver after Hardee screwed himself out of a job? We just needing to find the right fit, or was our success before an aberration?

Recruiting and retention seems to be the issue.  Which comes back to coaching.  Volleyball players seem to really quit and transfer at a way higher rate than any other sport.  Which does make sense when so few play.

Did Pryor win with Hardee recruits?

Griffin-Dooley-Merseli were abnormally great talent for this area.  Need to find more as most of that talent goes to P5 schools.

The fact that we had these three at the same time was like having Jenny Krause and the Pudenz sisters in WBB at the same time. Remember that Chelsea Moser was on the team that first year, too.  There were also a good supporting cast on those teams, like Alivia Fraase (she'd be a senior this year), Julia K, Jordan Vail, Ashley Bruggeman, and Teodora Tepavac (a minor role, but she could get us a serve if we needed it).
